Question

What is the specific heat capacity of silver metal if 75.00 g of the metal absorbs 56.4J of heat and the temperature rises 35.0°C?

Answer 1

The specific heat capacity of silver metal is 0.021485 J/g°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific heat capacity of silver metal can be found out by using the formula,

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

Given,

mass = 75 grams

Q = 56.4 j

ΔT = 35°C

Substituting values,

56.4 = (75)(35)(Cp)

Cp = 0.021485 J/g°C.
